For our September issue, I had the pleasure of interviewing Daphne Oz (daughter of Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz), who shared common-sense techniques for resisting the urge to splurge. ("At a party, don’t hover over the snack table.")

A rising star who appears weekdays on ABC’s "Chew This" series, Daphne grew up in Cliffside Park, graduated from Princeton in 2008, and quickly began establishing herself as a healthy-lifestyle guru.

Some of her other weight-management tips include:

1. Don’t eat empty calories when you’re bored.

2. Don’t snack on cookies, chips and pizza at bedtime.

3. You don’t necessarily have to join a gym if you eat right and walk, bike and take the stairs.
